Finance to Tech in Singapore / Hong Kong

Hello All,

I've spent 8 years in finance and made it to VP. Now looking forward, the "passion" to chase deals is no longer alluring to me - quite frankly looking to move into Tech (BD, strategy, FP&A) at one of the large Tech Cos in Singapore / Hong Kong. Has anyone on this forum made this transition? Would be great to hear about which tech role you transitioned into, how you went about interview preparation, and how you've found the move.

Cheers all,
